My SIL lives in Ripon, and the temps there have been very close to those in Clinton. In fact, this morning it was warmer in southern Wisconsin than it was here. That was common during the recent polar outbreak. I wish the folks in North Dakota and Wisconsin would learn to keep the door closed.

luckycraft Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 18 hours ago, Johnsfolly said: Not Yet. There are some guides in Minn and other Northern tier states that ice fish for burbot when they go into the shallower waters to spawn. I believe that its Walker Minn that has an Eel Pout festival in the winter Jan/Feb? Seems like a Sturgis bike rally meets drunk ice-fishing event😉 Is this at leech lake? I was on leech 4 winters ago. Temperature was -33 an our augers barely were long enough to get through the ice. Fishing wasn’t great, but can be phenomenal for walleye. With all the pictures at the guides. I don’t remember seeing burbot. Johnsfolly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got blown off the road during a snowstorm in Minnesota in October, several years back. Never go north later than September is my rule now.
